You can pick the one you like. libcurl is designed to be thread-safe, and if
you use a *nix you should tell it not to use signals.

If you use the multi interface, you make things "happen" by calling
curl_multi_perform() or curl_multi_socket(). It is no difference in usage if
you have one handle or ten thousand handles added.

The easy interface can be used in multiple threads simultaneously as long as
you create separate easy handles in each thread and then libcurl won't
synchronize anything since there will be no need to.
